Center Files Brief at U.S. Supreme Court
Urges justices to take up free speech case
The Mackinac Center recently filed an amicus curiae ("friend of the court") brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, urging justices to review a free speech case out of California.
At issue is Section 399b of the Public Broadcasting Act, which restricts core free speech by prohibiting public television stations from broadcasting paid advertisements, including issues of "public importance or interest."
Stay Engaged
The brief was authored by the Southeastern Legal Foundation and was signed by several groups including the Mackinac Center, Citizens United, Atlantic Legal Foundation, Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, Reason Foundation, Individual Rights Foundation, Northwest Legal Foundation, Goldwater Institute, Center for Competitive Politics and Cause of Action.
Our brief argues that content-based restrictions on speech should be subjected to the highest standard of review and that the court should evaluate whether Section 399b's speech restrictions should stand.
"Content-based restrictions on political speech strike at the heart of the Constitution," says Shannon L. Goessling, executive director and chief legal counsel for Southeastern Legal Foundation. "To paraphrase a famous Supreme Court case, the answer to bad speech — or speech with which we disagree — is more speech, not enforced silence."

Maryland Downs Washington State To Advance To First Round Of 16 Since 2004
Nov. 15, 2009
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - For the first time since 2004 the University of Maryland women's soccer team is in the Sweet 16 thanks to its 1-0 victory over Washington State Sunday afternoon at Ludwig Field.
"This feels great," said Maryland head coach Brian Pensky, who takes his Terps to the NCAA Sweet 16 in his first trip to the NCAA tournament. "I'm so happy for our players, our program and for everyone associated with it from our fans to our alumni to the university and administration. We've worked hard to get the program back to rebuild this program to get it to this level. So, this win today really means a lot.
"You could tell in the first 10-15 minutes of the game we were a little bit nervous, a little bit jittery, as expected being in uncharted territory for our players. But then we started to settle down, kept the ball a little bit, created three corner kick situations and I think it was a combination of that pressure that led to the goal."
Sophomore Jasmyne Spencer scored her team-leading 10th goal of the season in the 33rd minute to give the No. 4-seeded Terps the 1-0 lead and the defense held the Cougars off the board for the remaining 57 minutes.
Maryland is now 14-5-2 on the season, which marks the most for a Terrapin team since 1996 when that squad won a program-record 19 games and had an overall mark of 19-5-2.
The game's lone goal came off of a corner kick sent in from the left side by junior Caitlin McDowell. The ball was sent to the far post where senior Megan Watson got on the end of it and headed it for the far post. The ball hit off of a Cougar defender and bounced back toward the middle of the Washington State six-yard box. Junior Molly Dreska redirected the ball and it found Spencer, a first team All-ACC selection this season, who finished it inside the near post.
"It was actually a corner kick play that we just put in yesterday," said Pensky about the goal. "Jonathan Morgan was the one who organized this play. We used it a couple of years back, but hadn't revisited it and obviously it proved fruitful today. It was a great, great goal and then we held on in the second half."
The Cougars out-shot the Terps in the game 12-10, but senior goalkeeper Mary Casey made five saves to earn her ninth shutout of the season. The backline of Watson, senior Brittany Cummins, junior Colleen Deegan and redshirt sophomore Mallory Baker turned in a tremendous effort, limiting the Cougars to very few quality chances.
Maryland will meet a familiar opponent in the Sweet 16 in ACC rival North Carolina. The No. 1-seeded Tar Heels advanced with a 4-0 victory over Georgia in the second round. Maryland and UNC, two of seven ACC schools that made it through to the Sweet 16, will play at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21 at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill.
The last time Maryland made the Sweet 16 was 2004 when it defeated No. 2-overall seed Penn State on the Nittany Lions' home field in the second round to advance to play at Washington.

In an emotional news conference in Voorhees, Danny Briere said goodbye to the Flyers and fans on Thursday afternoon.
Briere said the fans made his six years with the Flyers "amazing," and that he will never forget the team's remarkable run to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2010. Briere led the way, setting a franchise playoff record with 30 points that spring.
The Flyers officially announced Thursday they were using a compliance buyout on Briere, though it has been the league's worst-kept secret.
"Wherever I end up, this is where I'm going to end up (living)," Briere said. "This is home."
He said he thinks he has two or three years left, and that his three boys will help him decide where his next destination will be. He will become an unrestricted free agent July 5.
"The last six years have been amazing," he said, adding he wanted to send the fans "a huge thank you."
As for his future, Briere, 35, said, "I have no regrets. I'm moving forward."
GM Paul Holmgren said he told Briere of the team's decision last week and called it a "very difficult decision. Danny has been a very good player for us over the past six years."
Holmgren called Briere a "tremendous player, person and role model in all aspects, and for that we thank him."
Briere's $6.5 million cap hit will go off the books 48 hours after the Stanley Cup Finals end.
One of the most clutch playoff performers in recent NHL history, Briere was arguably the Flyers' best leader. He took young players under his wing _ at different times, Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier lived with him _ and he will be a valuable signee to a team that has Stanley Cup aspirations.

The 2013 Snow Thrower Guide from Troy-Bilt
As the seasons change, so do our outdoor power equipment needs. Begin your seasonal transition now and make sure you are up to speed with the knowledge to select and properly use a snow thrower before winter officially arrives.
If you're in the market for a new snow thrower, consider these questions that'll help you select the one best for you.
- What type of surface will I be clearing?
- What is the shape and length of my driveway?
- How much and what type of snow do I receive?
It's important to identify the type of winter environment your thrower will handle, so use the information below and the Troy-Bilt Snow Thrower Selector tool as guides to help you choose between a single-stage and a two-stage snow thrower.
Single-Stage Snow Thrower
- Best for clearing midsize driveways in areas with snowfalls of 6 inches or less.
- Most appropriate for paved surfaces like sidewalks and patios.
- Lightweight and easy to maneuver like the Troy-Bilt Squall' 2100 Snow Thrower.
Two-Stage Snow Throwers
- Serrated augers break up ice and snow, and throws snow quicker and farther than single-stage throwers.
- Two-stage throwers like the Storm' 2840 Snow Thrower are best for clearing large driveways and heavy snowfalls.
- Power-driven wheels can handle uneven and steep terrain and can be adjusted for use on gravel driveways.
Maintenance Checklist
If you already have a snow thrower, make sure it is prepped and ready for the first snow of the season with this checklist:
- Change the oil.
- Install a new spark plug, if necessary.
- Inspect belts for wear and replace, if necessary.
- Drain the gas tank and replace with fresh fuel and fuel stabilizer.
- Lubricate the drive and framework.
Safety Tips
Before operating your snow thrower, it's important to read your machine's instructions and review these safety tips:
- Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts, in the auger/impeller housing or chute assembly.
- Never operate with a missing or damaged chute assembly. Keep all safety devices in place and working.
- Never direct snow at people.
- Exercise caution when operating on, or crossing gravel surfaces.
- Always wear protective eyewear, such as safety goggles, and wear the proper winter gear; avoid wearing any jewelry, scarves or other loose clothing that could get caught in the snow thrower.
- Never run an engine indoors, or in a poorly ventilated area.
- Do not operate around small children or pets.

Little Minion: Leon
Leon was made at the same time as Bosco, before I started the more Halloween-like figures mentioned in the last post.
Leon is a pensive chap. Quiet and somewhat shy, he only speaks when he has something important to say. He's a little self conscious of a slight stutter that reveals itself when he's upset or exited.
He likes keeping life simple and avoids conflict as much as possible, to the extreme of avoiding other people if he can help it. He much prefers to be home alone by the fire, reading books and studying maps. You see, his secret wish is to be an explorer. After an evening of plotting courses and memorizing celestial patterns in the universe, Leon will sit back in his favourite arm chair with a glass of red wine and doze in the glow of the fire, dreaming of his many great adventures.

Pietersen has not played for England since making 149 in the second Test against South Africa in August after a storm over his text messages to South Africa players which allegedly contained "derogatory" references to then England captain Andrew Strauss.
That saw him miss out on their failed World Twenty20 title defence, the forthcoming tour of India and a central contract for the new season, but Flower is optimistic an agreement has finally been reached.
"The situation is ongoing. I think it's nearing an end now – in a positive way, I hope," he said.
"There's been a lot of formal communication between the ECB and Kevin, and there will be a press conference I would imagine in the next 36 hours which will enlighten you a little further."
The expectation of an imminent reconciliation has even led to speculation Pietersen could be added to the party travelling to India later this month.
Flower did not rule out such an eventuality but would not be drawn on the specific details of Pietersen's likely return.
"We don't close doors to anyone," he said. "If we get over that first stage and get some of the formal legal proceedings out of the way, then we'll get on to the cricket thereafter."
England's top order, shorn of Pietersen's presence, failed to produce the runs required in Sri Lanka as the reigning champions' participation in the World Twenty20 ended at the Super Eight stage with defeat by the hosts yesterday.
Flower admitted: "Last night was a quarter-final, effectively, and we weren't good enough to beat Sri Lanka on their home soil.
"There were little sparks of positive play but they were more streetwise than us and obviously deserved to win the game.
"It's sad that we're leaving this early, but that is the fact of life."

please note:all references to "this thread" are for the official CCCX thread
mencot wrote:I don´t remember again how it was but where can we ask questions conserning CCCX, in this topic?
1. Yes. You can ask questions regarding the contest in this thread.
soccerkid6 wrote:Alright since you can ask questions here:
I posted a WIP pic of a MOC on my Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/66620538@N ... hotostream
As you can see that was just a few days before the CCC, does that still disqualify me from entering it?
Just wanted to make sure cause I would hate to not enter it if it's ok "
2. I'm sorry, but we've always held that MOCs shared publicly (either online or at an AFOL event) before the contest opened, even MOCs in progress, were disqualified. We have previously allowed people to use small elements from earlier WIP creations if they were mostly changed and if the older thing was only a small part of the completed MOC, but in the case you show you've got a pretty substantial portion already built. Again, sorry. I always grimace when I see beautiful MOCs posted in the last week of October because by that point we already know the categories, and there have been times when I've thought "if only you'd held off posting that for a week you would have had a shot at winning."
Athalus wrote: Just wondering: Does the "Tudor castle" category require a complete castle? Or could a segment of a castle be entered?
3. It should have an enclosing wall, but since this has a size limit of 2 32x32 or 1 48x48 plate it is necessarily going to be a smaller structure than the full 'Castle' category. For inspiration you might look at historical fortified manors.
friskywhiskers wrote:Yes!!! I'm totally pumped for this!! Silly Question: Does a section of a medieval village, say 2-3 buildings on a 48x48 base meet the requirements for the medieval life category, or is it limited to only a single building?
4. Yes, you could have more than one building, as long as you are within the 2 32x32 or 1 48x48 plate limit. The focus here is on civilian settings (in contrast to, say, the 'Castle' type categories), so a little piece of a village would be very appropriate.
artizan wrote:I have a question for the "Classic Set Reimagined" Category, can we make the scale of the Moc bigger/smaller than the actual set and can we add more/less figures than the set already has?
5. Yes, but if you stray too far from the spirit of the original set you probably won't score as highly. If you make some massive set with a ton of figs and say that it's a redesigned version of a polybag set, there will be some raised eyebrows.
AK_Brickster wrote:Maybe this is painfully obvious, but just to clarify, altBricks leaves are not allowed (I'm thinking particularly for the forest and winter scenes), even though they are prizes, correct?
6. The admins decided to only allow altBricks leaves in the Forest Life and Winter Scene categories.
shmails wrote:Here is my first question: What is the cutoff year for the castle set reinvisioned? Thanks in advance!
7. While many fans support the 1978-1992 era of classic sets, we will allow you to redesign any castle set released prior to Knight's Kingdom II (2004).
mpoh98 wrote:Now, here is my question: how do we sign up? Where do we post our creations?
8. As noted in the announcement post at the start of this thread:
We are working with our programmer to update the entry pages. Please be patient as it may take a few weeks for these pages to be operable.
updated-The contest entry page is now up. Thanks to our coder. BTW, I already saw a CCC entry get posted on Flickr this morning, so the gauntlet has been laid down to you all to get going.
footsteps wrote:How silly can our questions be before we're fed to the dragons, or sent to the slurry section of the gong farm?Drive the admins crazy with silly contest questions here.
9. The admins are discussing your silliness and will get back to you.
updated- The admins have met and determined that footsteps and Rick-Ricks are to be fed to the dragons.
Mark of Falworth wrote:Oh, one question came to mind, I'm assuming it's all right to make an irregular or round base for our entries, like what blego7 made last year, as long as they are smaller then the 2 baseplate size limit? Correct?
10. Yes. The irregular plate or brick built base must fit within a 32x64 rectangular stud or 48x48 rectangular stud outline. You can not stagger the two 32x32 baseplates to create an extremely long outline.
ZacharyIslazy wrote:For the Trade and Tolls category, would a build featuring a merchant paying a tariff/ taxes on his imported goods fit the category?
11. That sounds fine. BTW, as an aside, we don't want to micro-manage your building. Go ahead and build what you think fits in. Our judging may reflect lower scores if a MOC doesn't fit the spirit of the category, but we also want people to think creatively and not just all make the exact same thing. The suggestions are just that - ideas to get the ball rolling.
ZacharyIslazy wrote:So to clarify, we can't use custom weapons, armor etc. in any category except the two custom minifigure categories?
12. From the 'categories and prizes' page:
You may use custom weapons only in the Realistic Castle Figure, Fantasy Castle Figure, and Miscellaneous categories.
Rick-Ricks wrote:For the "Castle" entry does it have to be a realistic castle, or can it have fantasy based elements?
13. I'm going to tentatively say realistic, but the admins will discuss which categories should be realistic vs fantasy.
14 - We also wanted to clarify that you can also use non-Lego string and can make custom sails out of paper or cloth. Those are allowances we've generally made in past contests and should continue.
So, for the record, we generally want you to stick to official LEGO elements except:
The two custom figs categories have no restrictions, of course.
Custom elements allowed in the architectural details category.
altBricks leaves allowed in the forest life and winter scene categories.
String and paper/cloth sails generally allowed.
Custom animals generally allowed.
Customization of fig torsos, flags and shields generally allowed.
No restrictions on the misc category.
Mega Blox get you fed to the dragons.
Even with those various allowances, remember that this is not a customization contest (except for the two explicit custom figs categories), but a building contest. Our judging will reflect great building, not customization (or the acquisition of massive amounts of figs, or of rare elements).
Thomas Arrowford wrote:1. So most of the categories have a size limit of one 48x48 baseplate or two 32x32 baseplates. If in one of the aforementioned categories I build my winning masterpiece on either one 48x48 baseplate or two 32x32 baseplates and then just to add that little something special, put a nice slopey brick base border to hide that nasty edge of the baseplate, am I going to get fed to the dragons and my masterpiece broken up and given to young children to chew on, because it's too big?
15. Yes.
Thomas Arrowford wrote:2. Still on baseplates. Can the two custom minifig categories be on bases to create a little contextual scenery for the character? If so, any limitations?
16 - You can, but remember the focus is on the customization, not the build. We've had people in the past put their character on a horse, or with some furniture, or whatever, but those don't affect our judging. If you were to put your fig in a context, I would suggest not much more than a standard vig footprint. Again, I'm not trying to turn this into a vig category. The judging is all about the customizing, not any building around it.
Thomas Arrowford wrote:3. Mark of Falworth has said he's entering every category twice and has already posted a magnificent castle. On an entirely unrelated note, can people get disqualified for showing off?
17 - Trash talk is strongly encouraged.
Thomas Arrowford wrote:4. My in-laws are staying over and they are sleeping in my Lego room. As such I can't start building until tomorrow night when they leave. Can I legally evict them now? If not, is the notice period any less than the 30 hours I currently have to wait?
18 - Kicking out your in-laws is also strongly encouraged. Personally, I sent my kids into the back yard and told them to forage for food until January. Oh, wait, I'm a judge. I won't be building anything. Guess I'd better go get the kids.
artizan wrote:are small overhangs allowed?
19 - Yes, insignificant overhangs like fig accessories or tree branches are allowed. Keep it within reason though.
RichardAM wrote: * Next year can we have the contest earlier or later than usual so we can screw over the guys that start building in advance?
20. No, we're pretty set on our schedule. The categories do change every year, so that should help on that issue, though there are obvious similarities from year to year.
RichardAM wrote: * In the Forest Life category are we allowed man made structures e.g lookout towers and cabins?
21. Sure. It should be clear that this is a forest category, though. A village scene with a tree does not a forest make. If a MOC really does not fit the spirit of a category, it will be reflected in the judges' evaluations.
Ryclen wrote:So, some questions. Can the builds be lotr oriented?
soccerkid6 wrote:More questions: Is something in this style considered to be in the Castle time period, in other words would it be ok if I entered something similar?
22 - You may use whatever source of inspiration you wish. You are not limited to northern European castles.
Ryclen wrote:Also, would any microscale builds count as miscellaneous?
23 - Yes. All of the other categories should be in minifig scale (though some may use other scales for perspective).
Ryclen wrote:As for the daring escape category, would each stage of "imprisonment" get three photos, or one each?
24 - One photo each, for a total of three photos.
soccerkid6 wrote:And I entered a 16x16 tower (plus a two stud border) that is part of a wall around a city in the Miscellaneous category. Would it have been better to put it in the Architectural Detail category?
25 - The admins will not make those sorts of decisions for you. The architectural detail category should not exceed a 16x16 footprint.
mencot wrote:One question, can it be based on fantasy medievalscene in the Forest Life category?
26 - Sure.
Buurli wrote: I already uploaded (after the start of the CCC) 12 pictures of my build, which I would also like to submit for the misc. category. Is it ok if I just do a separate album on flickr with the 3 allowed pictures for the CCC? Or do I have to delete the other ones?
27 - On the 'submit your entry' page you should link to an album (brickshelf gallery, mocpage, etc) with only the three images you want judged. Also, these should be within the 800x600 or 600x800 limits. In separate albums you can post however many pictures you want, at whatever size you want. Feel free to link to these in a CC thread and get feedback from others, post them on other web forums, whatever. The judges will only consider the three images in the album you link on the entry page in their evaluation.
pj_bosman wrote: Can I use the medieval architectural detail (see below) I submitted to that category to make another MOC for another category? Or can I submit only one of the entries, since they feature the same part?
28. An entry can not be submitted to more than one category. You may incorporate the same building technique into individual entries.
crazycrownieguy wrote: I have a question For the forest life category does it have to be a tree forest or could it be something like the bamboo forests in China?
29. Yes. You can build a medieval scene in a bamboo forest.
AK_Brickster wrote: Has an exemption for the "previously displayed" rule ever been considered for BrickCon attendees? It's a shame that anyone who puts so much time and effort into their BrickCon displays (Castle swept all 3 "Best in Show" awards this year) has them disqualified for being revealed less than a month prior to the CCC starting. I know several people who are still buried up to their eyeballs in BrickCon sorting/dissassembly (myself included), so we are at a major disadvantage when it comes to pre-building large entries compared to the rest of the CC community. Just look how many large castles were submitted on day 1. It would be almost impossible for a BrickCon participant to do that due to how closely the two events are scheduled to each other
30. The Colossal Castle Contest has been held for ten consecutive years around the same time of the year and will continue to in the future. Fan events occur throughout the year around the world. Making an exception for one convention is not fair to other builders. Two months is plenty of time to build a few new castle mocs.

I uploaded now smaller pics to Flickr, but I don't know how to edit an entry. Is that even possible or do I have to submit it a second time and you (admins) delete the first one?
31 - Use the 'naughty list' thread to inform the admins when you've fixed any issues with your entries.
Ryclen wrote: Could somebody please post a pic of a Lego Tudor castle that fits the requirements? I'm not sure how it should look just going by the category requirements.
32 - A good guide would be to look at official sets like the BFF and the Guarded Inn (if the wall actually continued around and actually enclosed it).Or to take more recent sets, the Battle of Helm's Deep with its wooden hoarding, or the Kingdom's Joust incorporates wooden structures.Or to take a real example, something like Stokesay could be a good inspiration, with the wood frame portion of the main keep:and its half timber gatehouse:

(This question stems from your comment over on Lolino's "Guarded Inn" thread
33 As I noted way back in answer 5, the MOC should evoke the same spirit as the original set. The main idea is that if we look at the MOC, it should be recognizably related to the original (I think Lolino's is a good example of this). That means it's not limited to the same piece or fig count, but also shouldn't be completely unrelated. For instance, take Jojo's amazing Tower in the Lonely Wood. This would not be a 'reimagining' of set 7955, even though they both feature an evil wizard and bottles of potions, because the MOC is at a vastly different scope than the set (leaving aside, of course, that Jojo's was built first, and that Wizard is not a 'classic' set).
LegoLord wrote:Hey guys, I've got a quick question about the medieval life category. Would a church count as a civilian building? Civilians would attend church everyday, right?
34 - AK Brickster is right. By 'civilian' we just mean 'non-military'. So something like a siege weapons or a knight in training etc would be out.

When the next news items push the CCC announcement from the landing page, there is no way to navigate to the contest page... I click Events > CCC and get a list of all the old CCCs and other Events, but not the new one...
I also see no way to reach this page (http://www.classic-castle.com/events/contests.html) with the main site navigation, but it is linked as the parent page of the current CCC (in the navigation area on the CCCX page).
The event navigation and the page navigation in general is very confusing, and it is hard to find anything (let alone a link to the forum, except the small button to the right)
I know this a whole other issue, but at least the current contest should be reachable with the CONTEST link from the main page.
35 You have some good points. I've updated the 'events' page. You can actually get to the contest from the front page by clicking the CCC logo on the right-hand side (our mascot Henry atop a banner reading CCC), but I do see how that might be obscure to our newer members. Of course the contest is stickied as the first post in the Castle MOCs forum, but I'll go ahead and sticky posts at the top of the admin and customs forums, as I could imagine new members going there first.
I'm not sure about your other critiques of the front page. OTOH, I've been looking at that same front page design for a decade now, so I know exactly where everything is. It is certainly true that some of those buttons on the left are pretty obsolete, and even at a minimum upping the size of the four community buttons at the top of the right hand column might be in order. It is good to take a look at these things with fresh eyes. That said, the CCC will pretty much consume our time for the next couple of months, but remind me to take a look at that post-contest.

36 Editing in a relatively neutral background is okay. Remember, though, that we are judging the MOC, and MOCs are best seen when placed against a white or similar background. BTW, just as a reminder to everyone, you are not allowed to use Photoshop to change the actual MOC itself in any way.

Is it still allowed to use this MOC to showcase my minifig? As long as I post the building before I do the minifig, right?
37 - See answer 28 above. Please don't re-use constructions for more than one entry.
gid617 wrote: About what era is this taking place in? More precisely, have printing preses been invented yet? Since "libraries" was listed under Center of Learning ideas, presumably the answer would be yes, but just in case...
38 - There is a lot of debate among historians on where to make the cutoff for the end of the medieval period, and this also varies a lot based on geography. We've chosen a pretty expansive time period. For various CC activities we have always considered the time period from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Great Fire of London, ~476-1666. Gutenberg invented his printing press in 1440. For the record, though, 'libraries' have existed since ancient times.
gid617 wrote: (Also, could you tell me if the judges would frown on this kind of torso?)
39 - We're not going to micromanage your minifig choice. Of course, if you've got a spaceman in your MOC, you probably won't score so well. Glancing through your flickr stream, you certainly have other torso choices to work with that would be less anachronistic.

pj_bosman wrote: So I take it this incorporation of my architecture detail doesn't fit the rules, since it's a 99% copy of my first entry:
42 No, yours is fine. What we don't want is for someone to enter a MOC in another category, and then just submit a close-up of one small piece in the architectural details category. We also didn't want people to re-use an entry as a backdrop for another entry. Yours is a separate build, even if it is the exact same design, and therefore it is okay.

44. The admins will discuss this and get back to you.
elderon wrote: The second category I wanted to use my build in was in the custom minifig category as a backdrop to portray my minifig.
45. I would recommend not using builds from other categories as backgrounds of your custom figure entries. These are a distraction and not in the true spirit of the category. The top custom entries are always easily apparent due to the creator's skills. Check out previous CCC winners for examples. Backgrounds in the winning entries were not necessary.
Takkata wrote:Do I have to have a flicker or brickshelf? as long as my pictures are the right size on MOCpages, it OK, Right?
46. Yes. You are allowed to use other image sites such as MOCpages. Keep in mind that you must follow the image size rules and maximum number of images on your MOCpages link.
LukeClarenceVan wrote: If someone enters six categories, and enters two entries in some of those categories, would the six top-scoring entries be counted regardless of what categories they were entered in or would only entries in different categories be added to the Master Builder total score?
47. Entering the minimum of six categories is the qualifier for Master Builder eligibility. Once that is accomplished the top six entry scores will be counted regardless of category.

48. Yes. We have allowed this in the past.

49. No. Once an entry is submitted you may not change the creation.
RIchardAM wrote: Does Centre of Learning necessarily have to have a man-made structure or building in it? The example suggestions given all mention academic or religious institutes- could we perhaps have minifigs learning or studying through other means?
50. The category does not necessarily require a building or structure. However if the admins think your entry is straying too far from the category, it may be moved to miscellaneous (ie: military training, etc).
Are we allowed landscaping in the Tudor Castle entry? That may be obvious but it's not mentioned in the description. I was wondering if I could have it on a mountain or against a hill etc instead of being self-standing of just wood and stone?
51. Yes. Landscaping is allowed. Please keep in mind that a castle with timbers is likely located in an area with trees.
And it may have been answered already in which case I apologize but is Medieval Life strictly a pacifist category eg no weapon shops/blacksmiths? I may have interpreted this wrongly. Obviously I understand it's about civilian life but are they allowed to partake in the manufacture of items for conflict?
52. You can build a weapon shop or blacksmith shop for this category. However a fight scene at a blacksmith shop would not meet category requirements.
For the Winter Scene Catagory, Does there actually have to be snow? I want to know if I could perhaps do a scene of a village preparing for the first cold wave of winter, I.E chopping Firewood, Patching up roofs, harvesting the crops, etc.
53. Preparing for winter sounds more like a fall category and would not meet category requirements. A winter scene could be built without snow (ie: ice covered trees and buildings).
Fraslund wrote: Would a mercenary training school be stretching it too much for the medieval life catergory? I have a great structure, but it would get owned in the misc catergory due to is small size. Totally understand if that doesnt work.
54. This entry would be most appropriate in the misc. category.
gid617 wrote: Are LDD entires allowed? Just asking, because it struck me as though this one (entered in the Medieval Life catagory as "Let's see what you know") was LDDed.
55. The entry you linked to may have been created with an ldraw program. Digital entries (ldd or ldraw) are allowed. Keep in mind that you can only elements in colors that really exist.
I will update this at least once a day as more questions are answered.

I don't care if you do not believe in God. I don't care if you think creation could come about by chance instead of a Creator. I know in my heart and confused mind there is a God. Just having a difficult time how He blesses blesses blesses some and well others, pooh on them . . . . .
There is no doubt in my mind there is a God. Just a God I do not comprehend.
Still believing these past few years even though the college I attended from 2007 - 2012, it seemed they were intent on "proving" evolution which would then "prove" there is no Creator.
Sorry, but there is way too much evidence there is a Creator. Maybe He did not create the Earth in a literal seven days, maybe the Earth is much older than 6,000 years - but if the Bible is "true" and He created a "Man", this "Man" was not the form of a new born baby but a form that even though a few seconds "old" would have the appearance of being (in our measurement) 19 - 20 years old.
But just because there is a Creator, doesn't mean to me anymore He is as caring and loving as He declares Himself to be. Just look at what He did to Job. We are taught He knows everything from the beginning of time until the end of time. So He knew what Job's response would be. Yet He allowed Satan to abuse Job (who He loved) to prove a point that did not need proving. I don't think any rational human being would allow someone they "loved" to be abused by their enemy just to prove that person would still love them. I just want to rip the book Job out of the Bible.
Anyhow, my initial question and "reasoning" currently is that people of all faiths pray for their loved ones to recover. Some recover, some do not. According to the fundamentalist theology, God only answers the prayers of Christians. If that is correct, then the ones of the "incorrect" faiths recovered not because God "healed" them. And for the ones of the "correct" faith who did recover, they would not have recovered regardless of "answered prayers" if they had not received proper and timely medical treatment. If you are bleeding profusely and don't bandage your wound, all the prayers in the world are not going to prevent you from bleeding to death.
Finally, I have had "answered prayer" in the last few months. I was asking God why He blinded Paul which brought about Paul's conversion and yet did not blind others which would have resulted in their conversion. Seemed pretty unfair to me that Paul got a "huge red light" and thus became a Christian and others who could / would have became Christians if they had only had the same "huge red light" did not get such. God "told" me three things. 1. He did not have to answer me. 2. However He would. 3. He knew Paul would remain faithful despite horrible persecutions, stonings, whippings, beatings etc. Someone else that would have received the "huge red light" would have quit later, so that is why God "chose" Paul and not the others.
You will never convince me there is no God. Clearly there is.
What I am having issue with is His personal involvement in the lives of Christians. Ok, I have not led a "good" Christian life - done many things that were deliberate violations of good Christian conduct. But I have seen good solid Christians have troubles troubles troubles. Where is their "life abundant"? Then as I said, there are some "Christian" leaders who use the Bible to enrich theirselves. Making millions and lavishly spending it on theirselves while others go without. And God seems to turn a blind eye.
So many questions, sure wish there were some real answers.
In closing, we will all one day bow and declare "Jesus is Lord of all". We can do it here on this Earth "voluntarily" or we can wait until Judgment Day and do it "involuntarily". Right now, I am in the group that will be doing it on Judgment Day. How can I love a God that could step in and email@example.com
Sorry, but there is way too much evidence there is a Creator.
The intricacies of this Earth's existence is proof enough for me there is a Creator. No way it "just happened by chance".
QuoteYou will never convince me there is no God. Clearly there is. You will never convice me there is a god. Clearly there is not. This world behaves exactly as if there is no diety. Once we unlock the mysteries of abiogenesis, the only hidey-hole god will have left is the creation of the universe--
What do I need to do to see this god fellow?
I didn't say there was no proof - I merely said there are a lot of things we believe because that is what we have been told. I have never seen the proofs you have yet I still believe George Washington existed.
I don't think anyone here can "prove" that the planet Neptune exists - though we all probably believe it exist based on someone somewhere telling us there is a telescope somewhere that someone we have never eve met looked through and saw it.
Same thing with a lot of what we believe. I have never been to Mount Vernon, yet I believe a man named George Washington existed. I don't think there is one person here who can even name the person who did a portrait of George Washington. Yet we believe without "proof" when we are taught in history he existed.
I don't care if you do not believe in God. I don't care if you think creation could come about by chance instead of a Creator. I know in my heart and confused mind there is a God. Just having a difficult time how He blesses blesses blesses some and well others, pooh on them . . . . .
Many people are praying for my wife, many people have prayed for countless others. Some will recover, some will not. Everyday the newspapers are filled with obituaries of people who died younger than 50. Answered prayer for healing from God is not consistent. Why does He choose some and not others? Especially when some of the others who live long healthy lives are outright liars, thieves, all while being in church every Sunday morning, all spiffed up and looking mighty "Christian". I personally have met some of these people. One person who "stole" another man's wife (twice! long long UNBELIEVABLE story you would think I made up . . . ) actually told me I should forgive him just like Jesus did for stealing the other man's wife. LOL. Let me wrong you and when you get angry, tell you "Brother, even though I stole from you (a large amount, over $20,000), you need to forgive me and move on". What about the part that says I should make right my wrong, THEN ask your forgiveness. Based on his reasoning, if I robbed a bank, the jury and judge should forgive me since Jesus has.This is getting off topic. God exists. The Bible is true, I don't understand it, I am angry at a God that COULD recover my wife and doesn't, angry at a God that lets people like the several rich televangelists become millionaires. Since He COULD give them health or other issues (I am not asking for a bolt of lightening from the sky) but doesn't, they just prosper prosper prosper, it has confused me. Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so . . . . easy words, not so easy to believe any more. As I told my children, love is an ACTION word. If I say I love you but don't provide for you when I CAN, then my actions demonstrate a contradiction.
For a background on this email, my wife, who just turned 54 in January 2012, had a stroke in June. Ever since then, she has just laid there, eyes open and that is it. No interaction at all. She never cheated people, smoked, did drugs, hurt people - unlike some I know that by my eyesight far more deserved a stroke or catastrophic illness more than she.
I have never seen Neptune. I have seen pictures someone said was of Neptune. I have seen pictures of large telescopes that took those pictures. But again with Photoshoppingcroppingchopping, a picture no longer really proves anything.
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
Sorry my friend, but i'm going to have to hold your feet to the fire a little bit here. Metaphorically speaking of course. Quote from: dadamsjr on August 29, 2012, 12:24:17 AMSorry, but there is way too much evidence there is a Creator. Could you please summarize for us, in your own words, what this evidence for a Creator is?
Quote from: dadamsjr on August 29, 2012, 12:24:17 AMSorry, but there is way too much evidence there is a Creator. Can you tell me what you think the best piece of evidence is? Perhaps more importantly, what makes that piece of evidence, evidence for the god of the Bible as opposed to any other god?
There are levels of beliefGeorge Washington exists even now, he is living on Neptune, and he watches everything you do.He is powerful enough to create the entire universe, and in his loving "perfect god" status, he created Adam and Eve. He blesses some, but not everyone.His purpose in creating this whole vast universe, is to bring us, his pet project, to know and love him.We have absolutely no purpose other than to have faith that he exists (even though he hides with the skill of a god) and to love him.That's right, absolutely no purpose but to have faith and to love god.The reason George (the father) hides on Neptune is he cannot show himself to us because that will remove the need of faith, and worse (so the theologians say) will remove our freewill.Of course if that was the case, one might wonder how satan ever rebelled (permanently in god's direct company, still exercises freewill).It also seems to be contradicted by the bible old and new when god was guest appearing (for one night only in Mary's case) regularly.Of course one should not question the contradictions like a rational honest or intelligent human.Much better to just believe in George (the unknowable) and accept the illogic of George (the mysterious) while loving him (no matter what evil he allows) like a loving sheep (the hilarious).
I don't think he wants to answet that question, Wannabe. I asked yesterday, and he has ignored it:

By Thomas Escritt
THE HAGUE (Reuters) - The International Criminal Court is to decide whether to suspend its trial of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta because of a lack of cooperation by Kenyan authorities.
Judges said they would hold a hearing in the coming weeks on a possible reprimand for Kenya after prosecutors told the court on Wednesday that "pure obstructionism" was wrecking any chance of pursuing Kenyatta on charges that he orchestrated post-election violence six years ago.
The case is a test of the authority and credibility of the Western-backed court, which has seen several cases collapse, secured just one conviction in 11 years, and prompted bitter complaints from Africa that it is being singled out as a soft target.
The case against Kenyatta has been undermined by the withdrawal of a string of witnesses who prosecutors say have been intimidated or blackmailed, as well as other failures to secure documentary evidence.
In a January 31 court filing, prosecutors said a "climate of fear" had weakened their case and that judges should rule that Kenya was in breach of its obligation to help investigators.
They told the court they needed access to Kenyatta's financial records, among other things, to see whether he had indirectly paid large sums of money to the perpetrators of the violence, in which 1,200 people died and thousands were driven from their homes.
Kenyatta, who is head of both state and government, denies the charge of crimes against humanity. His lawyers say the prosecution is now merely trying to blame Kenya for its own failure to build a case.
Prosecution lawyer Ben Gumpert said it was nearly two years since the records had been requested, and the prospect of building a strong case was shrinking.
"The stones that remain to be turned are getting less and less promising ... more like pebbles," he said. "We characterize the position of the government of Kenya as one of pure obstructionism."
Prosecutors also say authorities have obstructed their attempts to interview police officers.
A lawyer for Kenyatta said that, since the records had been requested by prosecutors rather than the court, Kenya had been right to withhold them.
While Western powers led the push to establish the court and are keen to support it, they are also anxious to maintain relations with Kenya, seen as a key ally in the battle against militant Islamism in neighboring Somalia.
The case grew more controversial throughout Africa after Kenyatta, the son of his country's founder, won last year's presidential election on a joint ticket with William Ruto, his deputy, who is on trial on similar but separate charges.
Kenya says the court risks destabilizing east Africa if it presses on with the charges.
If the judges rule that Kenya is not meeting its obligations, they could adjourn the trial, effectively putting the case on ice, until Nairobi turns over further material.
The trial has already been postponed four times, most recently last month, when another prosecution witness withdrew.
This only increased prosecutors' reliance on the Kenyan authorities for information.
They cite as an example a request to see telephone records from the last days of 2007, when they contend the clashes were planned. These were not provided, however, until Kenyatta's defense expressed an interest in them.
Defense lawyer Stephen Kay, who wants the case dismissed, called the prosecution request "an attempt to stop the case without admitting who has failed here".
"It is a blame-shifting exercise onto the government of Kenya," he said.
Kenyatta used his position as leader of East Africa's economic powerhouse to rally African Union allies in a diplomatic push to have the U.N. Security Council defer the case against him.
Although that was unsuccessful, the ICC's 122 member states did agree to change court rules to make it easier for heads of state facing charges to give evidence by video link.

(Bloomberg) -- Lloyd C. Blankfein, chief executive officer of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. since June 2006, said he has no plans to leave.
"The combination of this being who I am and what I do and having absolutely no other interests makes me think this is what I'll be doing for a while," Blankfein, 58, told Stephanie Ruhle on Bloomberg Television yesterday from the sidelines of Goldman Sachs's technology conference in San Francisco.
Two former Goldman Sachs chiefs, Henry Paulson and Robert Rubin, served as U.S. Treasury secretaries after leaving the firm. Blankfein said that while he would "love to be wanted" for such a role, "that seems like such a distant hypothetical."
Blankfein is staying at the fifth-biggest U.S. bank by assets while some of his contemporaries and long-time colleagues opt to retire. Henry Cornell, a vice chairman in Goldman Sachs's merchant-banking business and one of its architects, is leaving after almost 30 years at the company, according to a memo to employees obtained yesterday. Jim O'Neill, the chairman of the asset-management division who coined the BRIC acronym for the biggest emerging markets a decade ago, is retiring this year.
Blankfein and Goldman Sachs were criticized after the 2008 financial crisis for their role in selling mortgage-backed securities that later lost value. The firm paid $550 million to settle a fraud case brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission over one deal.
"We were certainly near the scene of an accident," Blankfein said. "The trauma was very recent. There's going to be a lot of focus on us for a while."
Blankfein said he's trying to focus on the future even while recognizing that crisis-related problems may linger.
"I want to spend most of my time leaning forward, trying to finance businesses that will improve the economy," he said. "I'm not going to outrun the legacy issues."

Shopping, dining, and easy access to everything, the Beverly Center/Miracle Mile area represents a true rise to stardom for an area that was once just an oil patch and barley fields. Today the area is home to Cedars-Sinai, one of the world's leading medical centers and to the famous Beverly Center which brings in thousands of tourists each year, drawn to premium shopping in a luxurious setting. LACMA and other museums make Museum Row a draw for locals and tourists alike.
Real Estate: The Beverly Center-Miracle Mile area is full of many diverse types of real estate for sale including single-family residences as well as apartment buildings and condominiums. This area is also home to Park La Brea, a massive complex of over 4,200 units over 160 acres. It is one of the biggest housing complex developments on the West Coast.
Community Life: The pleasures of urban living are on display in this area. Food trucks cluster along Wilshire Boulevard in front of LACMA. The Miracle Mile Farmers Market runs from 11 to 3 on Wednesdays and attracts a big crowd. The Pan Pacific Park Recreation Center includes an auditorium, basketball courts, and a baseball diamond.
Education: The Miracle Mile-Beverly Center area is served by the Los Angeles Unified School District. Local public schools include Wilshire Crest Elementary School, John Burroughs Middle School, and Los Angeles Senior High School. Nearby private schools include Fusion Academy Miracle Mile, Cathedral Chapel School, and Yeshiva Gedolah of Los Angeles.
Transportation: This area is easily accessed by the 10 Freeway and both Wilshire Boulevard and Beverly Boulevard are major access points. The area is served by multiple Metro bus lines and the Wilshire Bus Rapid Transit Project is improving commute time to increase ridership of these routes.
Local Attractions: This area is home to Museum Row, a vibrant area that includes LACMA, the Petersen Museum, the Craft and Folk Art Museum, the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits, and coming soon, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures which will inhabit the former May Company building.

Rutherford Ranch wine
Rutherford Ranch wine is an exquisite and sustainable wine that is committed to the production of high-quality wines. This wine is created in the heart of Napa Valley, and they have a famous phrase that says "It takes Rutherford dust to grow great cabernet." The Rutherford Ranch Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the premiere wines offered by the company. The taste is rich with a slight bitterness, but it goes down easily.
Rutherford Ranch is committed to providing quality wines at an affordable price. It's still a luxury to indulge in, and many of the labels are only available from the Napa Valley winery in California.
This particular wine is a deep red, and it's striking to look at in the glass. It pairs exceptionally well with a number of dishes, but Indian food is a great companion to a glass of this ruby-red wine. It's a firm wine with notes of cedar and cherries. As mentioned before, it pairs well with hearty meals that make you feel full and alive. The Rutherford Ranch wine is a must try for those who have sworn off red wine forever. It's a winner to many, and it's a taste you won't soon forget.
Echelon is a beautiful wine with an elegant bottle. This wine is a fruit-intense wine from the beautiful valley of California. Echelon comes in white and red varieties. The red variety is bright with strong notes of sweet berries. It has minimal bitterness, and if you aren't careful, you will drink it without knowing it is a red wine. The California series pinot noir is a classic and a must try. The bottle is as beautiful as the wine with this one.
This particular wine is pressed lightly, and it is fermented quickly to preserve the flavor of rich berries. Black cherry, plum, cinnamon spice along with sage and rich black currant are noticeable when you sip this wine as intended. You will be surprised at the complexity and how velvety this wine is. It quickly becomes a favorite because it's so easy going down, and it pairs well with a number of dishes. You may want to try it with a light lunch or dinner, and you will be pleasantly surprised by how well the notes come out and blend together in perfect harmony.
Echelon California Pinot Noir is a red wine that is superior to many. It's low bitterness allows even the pickiest wine lovers to enjoy this wine. If you have previously disliked red wine, you will fall in love with this one quickly.
The Sextant CC 2011 Zinfadel
The Sextant CC 2011 Zinfadel is a top notch wine. It's bright and flavorful. Each sip is filled with the taste of raspberry, boysenberry, strawberries and spice. While it is a bit dry, the flavor is remarkable and unforgettable. It's an affordable wine with a high-class taste that leaves you wanting just a little bit more. It's strong. You can expect a rosy flush when drinking this wine.
You will want to pair this wine with a sharp cheese or chocolates. It works well with sandwiches and desserts too. It's a flexible wine that will make you fall in love with the options it presents when pairing and sipping. Sextant is an underdog of the wine world, and it deserves a taste or two before you pass judgement. You will find that it is easy to drink and makes for a lovely pairing.

The Deep Internet Secrets Seminar will help you understand the Internet more and use that information productively.
Imagine, using Face book daily to earn even more money as a VA? You'll learn how to do this by becoming a "digital marketer" or "social media manager". You'll get checklists on how they use Face book, Twitter, Blogs to create buzz for their companies and get paid handsomely at the same time.
You'll also face the internet with more courage, knowing the right things to so, all the shortcuts to do your work faster.
You'll know what to ignore in the confusing mass of information in the internet.
And you'll know what to pay attention to.
All those acronyms you encounter online? You'll know how to use them for your benefit.
Finally, you'll understand how to use things like: CSS, RSS, HTML, DNS, CNAMES, XML, apps, HTTPS.
After downloading bunch of eBooks with overflowing technicalities and terms I thought came from outer space, I've tried to comprehend what's it all about and ended up getting a massive headache. Now here's my chance to finally understand them all.
You want to understand how the internet works but
....you want to skip the boring parts (history, inventor's name, topology, yawn)?
... you want to skip the nice-to-know parts (Netscape, nuclear war design, packet switching)?
and skip to the parts that you can ACTUALLY use EVERY DAY so that:
...you can be more efficient using the internet?
...you don't stop cold, fearing that you have no idea what you're doing -when you're looking at code
...you don't want to be a geek but you want to be able to talk to one, or to a designer, or to a net marketer.
If you answer yes, this seminar can help you!
Virtual Assistants and those who want to use the internet skillfully: It's time to upgrade!
In the early internet years, I taught my office mates how to use XML and made them use it in our old-internet allergic office. I also taught my pre-teen brothers and sisters (there are a lot of them, we're 13 in the family) how to create HTML and CSS files. It took all of 30 minutes per person. I've had the privilege of teaching the internet to our office's vice presidents back in 1996-1997.
You can benefit from all this experience I've had with training any kind of person very technical things.
The Deep Internet Secrets Seminar will help you understand and use the internet in ways that even your teenage on-lookers will say "Wow, you're an expert in the internet!".
Learn new lessons and programs that will surely level-up your skill as a VA or online marketer. Learn more about HTML, CSS, DNS servers, Apps and much more. Like my other seminars, our objective is to make the seminar fun and entertaining while you remember what these tools are and how they work.
VA Advanced Seminar 202: Deep Internet Secrets is hands-on, bring your own laptop - but internet is not needed. Note1: we will not be using the computer all day, only during select parts. If you don't bring a computer, its okay - you just have to look at your seatmate's computer instead.
Note2: We won't use the internet, if you prefer to be online, PLEASE bring your own online connection.
Note3: Attending the "How to work from home as a virtual assistant" is NOT A PRE-REQUISITE to attend this event, for now. If you want to attend that seminar, please click here.
What you can expect, deep internet basics you should know:
1. you'll know how to access the Deep web - you don't see it, but it's there! Most people rely on Google to know something, but that's just accessing 20% of the internet. Find out where the deep web is located - beyond Google. You just have to know where to look.
2. You'll learn how to read, modify and manipulate XML / CSS / XHTML and more importantly you'll know why you should know this skill.
3. You'll see some examples of HTML5 and its relation to flash, the darling of web video. Plus you'll know why it's important to know this.
6. You'll be introduced to memes and their power over marketing online and where and how to spot them.
7. The secrets of RSS, RSS Readers, and I Google will be unlocked for you.
Yes, yes you probably know what they mean, but have you used that knowledge to gain more income for you??? That's what this seminar is about -if you're planning to work at home as a VA.
8. You'll learn the most useful Browser extensions (and what they are) and how to use them.
9, you'll learn what the Refresh Button is for, "the hidden" loading message in most browsers and how and when to use the Safari Developer Menu
9. You'll learn how to talk to Web Designers, know their lingo and their passions!
10. You'll learn how to talk to Web Developers, know their lingo and their passions!
11. You'll learn how to quickly upload images to the internet (even automatic image hosting) and how you can use it anywhere.
12. You'll learn the most important things about the "TP" in http, https, ftp vs. the "web". No, you won't know the boring history, just the usable parts.
13. You'll learn the secrets of always using Macros and Shortcuts (Trackpad, Mouse, Gestures, Mouse Gestures & shortcuts) in maximizing computer efficiency and minimizing time in front of the computer.
14. You'll learn the value of "Reading the Manual" and what miracles it can do for you.
15. You'll learn all about the acronyms that still matter: IRL, DNS, Forwards, Cnames, Hosting - and how they fit in a VA's life.
16. You'll learn to be comfortable with working with Javascript and other code and entering them into your blogger blog. You can imitate what other admired blogs do by deconstructing their code.
17. You'll learn the use of excessive commenting to save your life and sanity.

This picture of "the Old Day House" appeared in the Springfield Republican newspaper in 1909. The Day family was among the most prominent families in West Springfield, Massachusetts, and Josiah Day built this substantial house in 1754. It is said that his nephew, Captain Luke Day, made his headquarters here during the series of protests that became known as Shays' Rebellion. In 1903, the last of the surviving "Day Sisters" sold the house to the newly formed Ramapogue Historical Society with the stipulation that it be used as a museum. The house is located beside the old common, where the First Church and schoolhouse stood, and where Captain Luke Day drilled his Regulators in 1786.

GPSolo Magazine - April/May 2006
Internet Law Researcher
Internet Law Researcher (ILR) is a monthly newsletter available both as hard copy and online. I must admit that, because I follow both Inter-Alia.net (a blawg by ILR contributing editor Tom Mighell that describes itself as "[a] legal research weblog, among other things") and Robert Ambrogi's Lawsites (the granddaddy of blawgs), I initially doubted whether I would find ILR to be worth the $172 yearly subscription rate (for 11 issues). In the end, my answer to that question comes from the old saw "time is money": ILR will save any lawyer who does factual or legal research on the Internet—which means just about all of us—hours that otherwise would be spent figuring out where to start researching various topics.
Each issue of ILR contains eight regular features. In "From the Editor," Don MacLeod addresses policy issues facing Internet legal researchers, such as the importance of keeping public records public and of offering free Internet access at public libraries.
Next comes "The Internet Guide to . . . ," which focuses on a different substantive area each month. Recent topics include securities law, litigation resources, pro bono resources, and aviation law. The "Internet Guide" is a compilation of websites, blawgs, and listserves related to each topic, with a paragraph or so describing each entry.
"Around the Legal Webs," by Melanie Putnam, takes more of a scattershot approach, discussing a wide range of law-related websites, from the Animal Legal and Historical Web Center ( www.animallaw.info), to the IP Litigation Blog ( www.iplitigationblog.com), to the self-explanatory www.morepartnerincome.com. This column also features a government website of the month.
In "Search Engine Update," ILR reports and comments on developments in the search engine world, from new Google offerings, to the pros and cons of lesser-known search engines such as Jayde ( www.jayde.com, one of the oldest online business-to-business directories), to the importance of the Open Directory Project ( www.dmoz.org).
"Finding Information on the World Wide Web" tackles how to find high-quality, trustworthy information sources on the web. From how to find accounting information to the best sources for congressional information, this column is a mini "Internet Guide" on each covered topic.
In each issue of ILR, jennifer j. rose, the editor-in-chief of GPSolo magazine and the list manager of GP|Solo's Solosez listserve, puts her real-life experience to work in a column called "The Mailing List Review." Because law-related listserves—with their ability to give individual lawyers access to the thoughts of hundreds of their colleagues—can be a solo or small firm practitioner's secret weapon, rose's insightful commentaries on listserve-related issues such as the use of disclaimers in mailing list signatures ("outdated") and her brief descriptions of law-related listserves are particularly welcome.
"The E-Mail File" is ILR's "Dear Abby" feature, answering one reader-submitted question each month.
Finally, "The Internet Legal Bibliography" collects citations to pieces in traditional publications that address Internet-related issues. This is a must-have not only for attorneys who fashion themselves cyberlaw experts, but for all attorneys whose practices involve exchanging information over the Internet (again, just about all of us).
ILR is published by Thomson/Legalworks, part of the West Education Group. Legalworks' goal is to inform and train leading lawyers about changes in the law and how to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their firms. ILR is also available through Westlaw and may be included in some subscription plans.
West has long been known for its "value-added" offerings (think keywords on Westlaw), and ILR continues that tradition. The contributing editors essentially "filter" the web for lawyers, and their credentials make ILR a trustworthy source of information.
The online version of ILR is posted to the Glasser LegalWorks website in PDF format, with the convenience of being able to link directly to the sites reviewed.
ILR's presentation does leave something to be desired. My print copies of ILR came with a huge beige, orange, and black three-ring binder. Online, the three-column layout is a bit difficult to read if the Adobe navigation bar is present, but you can always close that feature and expand the page width to fit your screen.
More significantly, the online version of ILR was not up-to-date. As of early December 2005, the most recent issue available on the LegalWorks website was from September 2005.
Nevertheless, the content is excellent. Internet Law Researcher is a handy resource to help lawyers wade through the ocean of legal information on the World Wide Web.
Lisa Solomon is a sole practitioner in Ardsley, New York, who does legal research and writing for other lawyers on an outsourcing basis. Her practice includes drafting and arguing appeals and dispositive motions in all civil areas. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
